Info - Acronyms have always been an integral
part of computer culture and now they are popular on the Internet and with
Text Messaging to represent common phrases that people say to one another.
Part of the reason they are used so much is because it's quicker and easier to
type out a few letters, rather than typing out the full expression. They're
also fun, but some can be naughty so be careful. We hope you find our text
message abbreviations below useful;

Sending text messages is
extremely common and some people send an unbelievable amount of them each
day as it is much cheaper than mobile phone calls. An added benefit of using
acronyms in your text messages, particularly if you send a lot, is that the
wear and tear on your finger joints is dramatically reduced.
